Printed Patent Application No. 90107546 kn · Revised Page of Chinese Manual, August 22, 1991, B7 V. Description of Invention (彳) The present invention relates to a container for optical parts. For the transportation, transportation and storage of various optical parts made of synthetic quartz glass, such as lenses, windows, etalons, photomasks, films and film frames, etc. In an exposure process for manufacturing a semiconductor device, light having a short wavelength has been used to meet microfabrication requirements in design regulations. In recent years, a technology has been proposed and used that uses light having a wavelength range not greater than 220 nm as a light source. Optical materials that can be used in this wavelength range include synthetic quartz glass, fluorspar, fluoroplastic polymer films, etc. Synthetic quartz glass is a glass made of substantially only silica, for example, by reacting silica with oxygen in the gas phase to form a so-called porous member, which is then sintered. Because the optical components made of these optical elements are easily damaged by external shocks and abrasions, and are adversely affected by dust caused by vibration during transportation or storage. At present, there are some known optical containers, which are mainly molded from synthetic resins that are relatively elastic compared to metals, such as polyacrylate, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, and ABS resins. . These materials can be manufactured in large quantities at low cost by injection molding, stamping, or extrusion. However, a situation is known in which an optical element with a wavelength range not greater than 220 nm is used. Even though the optical element has been sufficiently cleaned, the optical transmittance of the optical element has been reduced, and in some cases it needs to be re-used before use. clean. Once again, cleaning can create a severe load on costs. The object of the invention is therefore to solve this problem. The present invention has discovered why the transmittance of optical parts is reduced because the paper ruler “applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) " 4 Pack. Thread (please read the precautions on the back before Fill out this page) 505604 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention-) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Organic gases (plasticizer-derived gases, unreacted Monomer, etc.) will adhere to the optical parts in the container, and when the optical parts are taken out of the container, the light transmittance will decrease by about 3-5%. When this phenomenon occurs on the substrate of the mask, the container The released gas reduces the light transmittance in individual steps, such as (1) transportation, transportation or storage until a film is formed after polishing and cleaning the substrate, such as a chromium film, (2) transportation, Transported or stored until a pattern is formed on the substrate to form a film thereon, (3) Transported, transported or stored until the patterned substrate is exposed in a stepper, and (4) stored for next use Substrate for light · The above phenomenon will cause a problem, that is, the degree of exposure varies depending on the part, so that the exposure cannot be consistent. Although there is a method proposed, by using heat treatment or vacuum heat treatment before the optical container is used, The amount of released gas is reduced, but the effect is still not sufficient for the synthetic resin. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs To solve these problems, the present invention provides a method for accommodating synthetic quartz glass. This container contains a synthetic resin as a base material, and a coating film provided on the entire area of the inner surface thereof, and is substantially incapable of making gas from the synthetic resin as the basic material of the container. The present invention also provides a container for accommodating a synthetic quartz glass. The container includes a synthetic resin as a base material, and the optical component contained in the container can transmit and transmit light immediately after being put in the container. There is a difference between 100 hours after entry, and the wavelength is limited to 1% to 157.6nm. The coating film, which is preferably an inorganic coating film, is made of metal, its oxides, or the size of this paper. It applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -5- 505604 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention f) Oxygen It is made of nitride, and the coating film is formed on the entire area of at least the inner surface with a thickness of not less than 100 nm, and a coupling agent is placed between the area where the coating film is formed and the coating film. 1 is a perspective view showing a container for an optical member having a single structure. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a container for an optical member having a multi-layer structure. And FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example according to an example and a comparative example.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The shape or structure of the container according to the present invention is not limited insofar as it is capable of absorbing optical elements. But 疋: ‘This trough device preferably has a structure capable of accommodating optical parts in an airtight manner’ so as to control dust. The container may have a structure for accommodating a single optical element or a structure for accommodating a plurality of optical elements to match the number of optical elements to be accommodated. For example, in Fig. 1, a container for an optical member is shown which has a single structure 'and the upper half 2 and the lower half 3 are closed to accommodate an * optical member 1. The upper half 2 and the lower half 3 have retaining portions 4a, 4b on their upper surfaces, respectively, so as to protrude from the inner wall to restrict the movement of the optical member 1 during the accommodation. The upper half 2 has an engaging surface 2a provided with a ridge 6 over its entire periphery, and the lower half 3 has an engaging surface 3a provided with a recess 5 throughout its entire periphery. When the upper half 2 and the lower half 3 are closed, an airtight structure is created. The upper half 2 and the lower half 3 are connected by a hinge 7 so that they can be opened and closed. In FIG. 2, a container for optical components is shown, which has a multi-layer structure, and contains an optical component 1 in an inner container 8, and the inner container 8 is enclosed outside (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this Page) The size of this paper is in accordance with Chinese National Standards (CNS) A4 (210X 297 mm) 7 505604 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention f) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Upper part 9 and outside The lower half 10 is configured to receive the optical member 1. The inner container 8 has an inner wall provided with a plurality of protrusions 8a to hold and fix the optical member 1 between adjacent protrusions. The upper outer half 9 has an engaging surface (not shown), a ridge (not shown) is provided around the entire periphery, and the lower outer half 10 has a mating surface 丨 0a, and a recess 11 is provided around the entire periphery. When the outer upper half 9 and the outer lower half 10 are closed, an airtight structure is produced. Both of the above containers can be made of synthetic resins such as polyacrylate, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, and ABS resin, just like conventional containers, so that the container can not only provide sufficient Strength to protect the optics therein.1 Resist external shocks or vibrations, and provide sufficient flexibility to prevent scratches on the surface or support position of the optics1. The Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy printed on the In the container, since a problem of gas generation is taken into consideration, a coating film is formed on at least the inner surface of the container, and the film substantially cannot permeate the gas released from the synthetic resin which is the basic material of the container. With this configuration, the optical transmittance of the optical components contained in each container can be different between the time of insertion and the time of 10 Q hours after insertion, and the wavelength is limited relative to 1 5 7 · 6 nm Below 1%. In terms of airtightness, the coating film is preferably an inorganic coating film, especially a coating film made of metal, its oxide or nitrogen oxide, and the coating film has a size of not less than 100 nm thickness of. The coating film is formed on at least the inner surface of each container. For example, in the container shown in FIG. 1, the coating film is formed on the inner surface (containing the solid portion 4a) and the engaging surface 2a (containing the bulge 6) of the upper half 2 and the inner surface (containing the holding portion) 4b) Engagement surface 3a with lower half 3 (contains concave paper size applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -8-505604 A7 _ ^ _ B7 _ V. Description of invention P) 5) . On the other hand, in the container shown in the figure, the coating film is formed on the entire surface of the inner container 8, the inner surface, and the engaging surface (including the bulge) of the upper outer half 9, and the inner surface and the outer surface The engaging surface 10a of the half 10 (containing the recess 11). A coating film may be formed on the entire surface of each container. As the coating film material, chromium oxide CrOx., Chromium nitride oxide CrOxNy, etc. are preferably used, because these materials are relatively high in corrosion resistance and gas barrier property. Other metals, metal alloys, and their oxides or oxynitrides are also acceptable. Even if the coating film is made of Si02 or Si, the coating film can ensure sufficient gas and barrier properties. In some applications of optics, the IT0 material can be used to ensure the transparency of the container. It is preferable that the thickness of the coating film is not less than 100 nm. If the coating film is thin, the coating film may be peeled off due to mechanical cleaning, such as honing with a brush, or ultrasonic cleaning after forming the coating film. Problems in terms of persistence. It is best that the thickness of the coating film is not less than 200nm. In order to form the coating film, the existing known techniques can be selected according to the type of synthetic resin or the type of coating film material, such as sputtering, vapor deposition, ion plating, and CVD method. In order to enhance the adhesion of the coating film, the coating film can be formed by any known technique after a coupling agent such as a silane coupling agent is applied to the coating film forming surface (the surface of a synthetic resin). . Alternatively, the coating film may have a multilayer structure, so that the coating film made of the above metal or its oxides and nitrogen oxides can be formed only after a film with high adhesion has been formed on the coating film formation surface.

The synthetic resin ingots made by known technology are cut into pieces by a cutter, with 153.0mm X 153.0mm X 6.55mm (thickness). Size, this cutter has a wire cutter on its inner circumference, and then the cut resin sheet is chamfered, folded and polished. Afterwards, these resin pieces were immersed in a tank for 2 minutes, and the tank contained 95 wt% sulfuric acid and 50:50 hydrogen peroxide by volume. After immersion, these resin pieces were rinsed with dew water and then dried in a humid air bath containing isopropanol to obtain a plurality of synthetic quartz substrates as photomasks, each having a size of 152.0mm X 152.0mm X 6.45mm (thickness). When the light transmittance of the substrate with a wavelength of 157.6 nm was measured by a vacuum ultraviolet spectrophotometer, the average light transmittance with respect to the wavelength was 80.3%. On the other hand, two types of optical container are prepared, that is, one is an optical container A (comparative example), which has a structure shown in FIG. 2 and includes an inner container made of polypropylene. 8 'and the size of the upper and lower paper made of ABS resin are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210'〆297 mm) -10- 505604 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Description of the invention f) Half '9 and outer lower half 10; the other is a container B for optical components (example), wherein the inner surface of the inner container 8, the inner surface of the outer upper half 8 and the mating surface, and The inner surface and the mating surface of the lower half 10 of the container formed in the same manner as the container A were formed with 200 nm thick Cr by sputtering thereon. Containers A and B were abraded and cleaned with detergent and brush. The cleaned container was then ultrasonically washed with ultrapure water, and the washed container was left to dry in a clean room for 24 hours. Synthetic quartz substrates are housed in individual containers A and B. The synthetic quartz substrate was taken out every 48 hours, and as described above, the light transmittance of the synthetic quartz substrate with a wavelength of 1 5 7.6 n m was measured with a vacuum ultraviolet spectrophotometer. As shown in Figure 3, the measurement results show that the light transmittance of the synthetic quartz substrate does not decrease even if it is stored in container B for 480 hours, but when it is stored in container A for 144 hours, the light transmittance of synthetic quartz substrate is reduced to 7 6.0 % ° As described above, the container of the present invention can completely avoid the generation of gas from the synthetic resin as a basic material, and limit the decrease of the light transmittance generated by various optical parts, especially the synthetic quartz during transportation, transportation and storage The light transmittance of glass decreases. When an anti-reflection coated film is applied to an optical element such as a lens to increase the light transmittance of light at the wavelength used, if the cleaning is not sufficient before forming the film, a problem will occur, which is the above gas. It stays under the film to reduce light transmittance. Fortunately, the container of the present invention is hardly affected by this problem. Since there is no restriction on the synthetic resin as the basic material, most of the existing optical containers only need to be formed by the coating film (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).
